When I was a young man, we used to have a saying that is probably familiar to many of my generation: Just call me 'wagon wheel;' I've been through it all." With all the humility I could muster, I saved this graphic in my "NOTABLE PERSONS" folder, realizing that many people know there is a Tom Glover inhabiting the local area. Actually, I Photoshopped this graphic to send to my children and grandchildren for inclusion in the Glover family heirloom scrapbook. As I look back over these 79 years, I can safely say I have had a great ride, and if God wills it, there are some more miles ahead. Just a few of the things that weren't around in my youth include television, ball point pens, computers,l cell phones, "texting," and.....well, there is actually a list that would probably take up many bytes on this computer. To all those wonderful people who sent me greetings, humble thanks.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOM.....YOU'RE STILL A YOUNGSTER, I WAS STILL PLAYING BALL WHEN I WAS IN THE 70'S AND NOW I'M GONNA BE 94 ON MY NEXT BIRTHDAY AND STILL FEEL LIKE PLAYING. I'M SURE YOU'RE PLEASED MAKING EVERYONE RECALL THE DAYS GONE BY AND REMEMBER THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN OUR YOUTH. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND COUNT ON ME TO HELP WHENEVER I CAN. BEST WISHES ON YOUR BIRTHDAY AND MAY YOU HAVE MANY MORE. REGARDS.
